How does that make it a robbery though? A robbery is where it isn't even a close round. Objectively, you can go to MMA Decisions & see how the fight was scored, most had it for Aljo, a few had draw, almost no one had it for Yan. Yan got outlanded 20-13 but because he was moving forward, therefore it's a robbery? People misuse the term robbery around here, just because they hate Aljo or the guy they're rooting for lost. What did Yan do in rd 1 to demonstrate he was far ahead of Aljo? You could argue Aljo won the rd or that it was a draw, but you'd be hard to make a case for Yan in rd 1

like what the fuck am i watching.... what is this judging thats going on.....the sport is going up and the judging is going down hill.... how did Sterling win round 1 ? He was being stalked the entire round.... since when did he manage to win it? by doing what? He took some huge strikes towards the end of the first round and he won it?

I also thought i was about to throw up when i heard "it might be a 10-8 round" during the sterling body locks.... are you kidding me? 10-8? by doing what? People are going crazy recently with these decisions and the scoring, leg kicks winning championships over head strikes, body locks winning belts, we going to see Stockton slap winning the belt soon at this rate shit is hella cringe.

The easiest rounds 1-4-5 you will see in your life how you can fuck this up i will never comprehend.

You seem upset
 
Also should add the fact people are breaking down the round to such minute detail shows there was no robbery. Just saying.

Show me how they landed.
Like I said, "I admit the 3:36 landed, my fault."
I really am trying not to be biased.
And again, show me how other kicks landed (minute and second or gif) and I'll admit.

3:36

I'd give Sterling some props if he just once tried to finish the fight. He had Yan's back for over 6 minutes...not a single attempt to finish. None. Just content to stay there and not worry about Yan's stand up.

Quite the "champion"

He was going for a choke. Yan defended it well

Not gonna download the card just to take pictures of body kicks landing
 
Respect to Sterling for the belt but he made Covington look like Floyd Mayweather with his complete lack of hands last night

1 guy ran away the entire fight. There was no fight if Yan just stood in the center.

The guy who ran away outstruck Yan in round 1, then dominated him on the ground in round 2 and 3, scoring enough to win.
That's all there is to say.

Sterling landed the better shots in round one, and 30% more. You're the same guy that tried telling me that Yan was a better grappler than Aljo, though, so I'm not surprised to see that you're still on that Yan ship. Aljo won. People just don't like how he did it.

Impressed by pitty patter, Sterling fans are almost as sad as him. Sterling will get another neck surgery now from the whiplash he caused himself by the reactions Yan got out of him.

It was heavier than all but one shot Yan threw. IMO when there is so little damage, which is what happened in this fight volume matters more(than if they were able to damage each other), so IMO Sterling landing about 7 more shots than Yan won him the round. Had Yan done any damage, cut, bruise, or rock/wobble/stun Aljo in any way I would see it your way but that didn't happen so volume decides the round.

1. I didn't say Yan won. Hard to tell.
2. Sterling had more total strikes, but Yan's strikes seemed to have a a little better impact. Not by a lot, just slightly. Maybe because he is the cold type and does't seem in trouble when he gets touched, just like Adesanya.
3. I don't see it how that youtube guy, The Weasle, counts it as 13 to 6, though.
4. There was no heavy strike.
Imo, heavy should mean full impact, powerful. Something that should make Joe scream "Oh, he's rocked". Medium shots most of them.

Sherdog at it's finest.

Me: So, look here, the way I see it, minute and second.
You: Nooooooo, you are soooo wrooooong
Me: OK, please show me.
You: Nope, I'm too lazy.
 
People screaming robbery are misusing the term. They are letting their hatred of Aljo cloud their judgement. Rd 1 is the only contentious rd, & even then, the best argument Yan supporters have said is that Yan was moving forward & controlling the Octagon. Yan got outlanded 20-13 in rd 1 in a rd where there wasn't anything fight changing happening, so even factoring in Octagon control, how does that make it a robbery? Robbery is when a rd is not even close.

Exactly. Like, people are really calling it a robbery because Yan walked forward more? Unbelievable the amount of delusional people on this sub.

These are hard/heavy shots.
No, not because of the stand and bang, but because of the speed and the powerful impact.
Not, just because they are welterweights and Aljo and Yan are BWs, it doesn't matter.... se Aldo vs Stephens, for example, or Volk vs KZ.

There weren't 20 landed strikes by both of them in the entire round.

Aljo also failed to connect clean on this elbow, supposedly one of his best strikes >

Two of the judges missed all this stuff of course and scored them as impactful strikes.
